My Collage

Collages can tell a story, illustrate our interests, and use words to define our ambitions. Compared to essays and novels, collages don’t need numerous pages to explain what the person is trying to convey. I enjoyed making my collage because it allowed me to combine my interests and what I aspire to do. Traditional writing takes time to understand, while collages may take only a few minutes to grasp the concept. When looking at images in collages, we can make several different interpretations and connect the pictures to the phrases that have been included. Images can strike emotion in the person who is viewing them, while traditional writing, at times, is more challenging to do. In my collage, I included my desire to travel in the future and my love for art and reading. Furthermore, I added quotes that I often look at throughout my week. I realize now that the images and phrases that I chose contradict themselves. My quotes are very positive, similar to affirmations. At the same time, my pictures seem a little more chaotic, and even the placement is inconsistent, comparable to my mind, as I often aspire to be more positive; chaos fills the empty space. I am happy with the final product because it is a collection of everything I love, and its juxtapositions highlight mental conflicts.
